Hi,
left a deposit this morning on a 1992 E30 320 Convertible,which has only covered 78000 miles.The car has a fresh M.O.T. with a couple of advisories(corroded fuel lines being one).
The test drive was spot on,much smoother than the 140000 mile one i ran last summer.Brakes,clutch etc. seemed fine.
The car hasnt been used since 2008 and i'm going to be driving it near a hundred miles back.Providing i make it would you think it necassary to change all of the fluids or am i being too fussy? Any other things to do? I'm not very mechanically minded! :o:

Cheers mate.It's a white one,cloth check seats.Funnily enough there's loads of receipts from Halliwell Jones Warrington and Williams Liverpool so it's been over this way before! :)

No worries,im in a dark blue cab (not seen another one round here).
I use halliwell and manage to get good discounts too :cool:
I know what you mean about bringing it home,i fetched mine from Kent and had to try and keep up with the misses who thought a ton all the way would be good idea :roll:

Breakdown insurance would be a good idea...

Once home,carry out,or have done,a full inspection 2 service.

Yeah got the full Relay breakdown,don't want to tempt fate.It'll be a steady 60-70 dicing with the trucks on the M62!
A full service is sound advice,cheers.
